Hi,

I'm having problems getting driverloader to see my
Netgear WG511. Essentially, modprobe refuses to load
the driverloader module. Can anyone shed any light on
how I can persuade it to load ?

Details:

Computer = Dell Inspiron 8100
WiFi PC Card = Netgear WG511
Operating System = SuSE Linux 8.1 ( linux 2.4.19-4GB )
Driverloader version = 
driverloader-1.54_k2.4.19_4GB-1suse.i586.rpm.zip
Netgear Driver Version = wg511v16

Other information :

The Netgear driver files are all present in
/var/lib/driverloader

The driverloader installer hasn't added anything to
/etc/modules.conf

cardctl can see the card, but doesn't recognise it.
cardctl ident reports :

---
Socket 1:
 product info: "Intersil", "ISL3890", "-", "-"
  manfid: 0x000b, 0x3890
  function: 254 ((null))
  PCI id: 0x1260, 0x3890

modprobe -v driverloader reports:
